Three Jordanians return from Guantanamo Bay prison
2007-11-07
Three Jordanians returned home this week after being released from the US Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba, their lawyer said on Tuesday. Zachary Katznelson told Reuters that Osama Abu Kabir, Ahmed Hassan Suleiman and Ibrhaim Mahdi Zaidan were sent home from the camp on Sunday.

“The United States sent the three Jordanians from Guantanamo back to Jordan,” said Katznelson, a senior counsel with the British-based rights group Reprieve. The whereabouts of the three, who had been kept in solitary confinement, was unknown but it was likely they were being held by Jordan’s intelligence services, the lawyer said. Jordanian rights groups and politicians have criticised the US authorities for their treatment of the inmates following allegations of torture and violation of religious rights during their detention.

#1  I wonder if they'll like their new accomodations better? Wasn't Jordan one of the places our 'rendition' program was supposed to have sent prisoners to encourage them to talk?
